Flashback Friday: “Only the Lonely” by The Motels
When I got a new computer last year, I was able to successfully transfer almost everything from my old computer. Unfortunately, one of the things that took a hit during the transfer was my iTunes library. I lost dozens of songs and albums, which I have been working to restore…

Song Lyric of the Day: But I still stay cause you’re the only thing I know / So won’t you take, oh, won’t you take me home / Take me home, home, home Cash Cash featuring Bebe Rexha / “Take Me Home“ A few weeks ago I made a huge…

My Happy for the Day: “Beam Me Up”
“Beam Me Up” by the Swedish DJ duo Cazzette is yet another song introduced to me by satellite radio a few months ago. And, oh, how I love it. I’m not a dancing person — and certainly not in public — but every time I hear this song, I’m right…

My Happy for the Day: “Female Robbery”
As with most new-to-me music these days, I first heard this song by The Neighbourhood on Sirius XM. I was entranced by singer Jesse Rutherford’s smooth-as-velvet voice and the overall British sound (to me, anyway) of the song. From start to finish, it feels almost hypnotic to me. Add in…

My Happy for the Day: “Titanium”
Through the spouse, I was introduced to David Guetta‘s music. While I’ve enjoyed most of what I’ve heard by him, my favorite of his songs has to be “Titanium,” which features Sia. There are a lot of interpretations out there as to the song’s meaning — that it’s about standing…

Flashback Friday: “Last Goodbye” by Jeff Buckley
I still can’t believe this week marks the 15th anniversary of Jeff Buckley‘s death. I had heard “Last Goodbye” a few times and liked it, but it wasn’t until after he died that I discovered how amazing his first and only complete studio album, Grace, truly was. And as much…

Flashback Friday: “Divine Thing” by Soup Dragons
Today’s Flashback Friday is one of my favorite early-’90s songs, one that perfectly fit into the whole alt-rock music scene I was so into at the time. While the Soup Dragons are probably better known for their cover of “I’m Free,” it was “Divine Thing” that really floated my boat.…

Faves: 2011
Song Lyric of the Day: You go down, down, down / I fall out of love with you / Come back round, round, round / You son of a gun Oh Land / “Son of a Gun“ It’s four days into 2012 and I’m just now getting around to talking…

My Happy for the Day: “Do You?”
I first heard “Do You?” by Iffy the Bad Man a few weeks ago, and have only fallen more in love with it since then. There’s something about the song’s lyrics and sound that I just adore. For me, it brings to mind a neo-soul sound, a la Amy Winehouse…
